**FYI: ...Boxing- Hand wrapping 101: proper technique for hand wraps**

I'm not downplaying anything, I'm simply giving the guy the benefit of the doubt until a proper account of the situation comes to light. I'm a huge Cotto fan BTW, so I'm no Margarito defender.

 

In regard to your first point: I've heard a lot of contradictory accounts of that situation so I pesonally think it's difficult to reach a conclusion on that one but I have no problem with anyone picking a side as I think some strong arguments can be made for both sides.

In regard to your second point: fine

In regard to your third point: That is completely unclear at this point. It looks like there could be a problem with Margs wraps (whether that is extra gauze or plaster) but we don't know for sure yet.

In regard to your fourth point: yes, that is blatently cheating and ****ing low if it turns out to be true.

 

tito was forced t rewrap his hands because they used to much tape
they were applying a layer of tape then a layer of gauze back and forth
this will definitely harden and it was illegal

 

thanks for the info..:good

 

yea i'm not exactly sure if they were covering the knuckles or not
but i'm pretty sure they were using at least 2 rolls of tape
it was a while back so i'd have to try and find some old clips i think the new series of legendary nights had this fight and they elaborated on the wraps and that this was the way papa trinidad had always wrapped him
as far as marg goes i just hope it is not as bad as it looks

 

Of course you can ****ing blame them. Between ignorance and relying on a commission of suits and talking heads (i.e. not fighters) they sent Cotto out to take a potentially life altering beating.

Puerto Rico has at least as long a fighting tradition as Philadelphia. A Philly trainer shouldn't be the only man on earth capable of identifying illegal wraps.
